Make Your Bathroom Luxurious with a Shower Curtain

These days, luxury bathrooms often don't require a shower curtain - large master baths with Jacuzzi tubs and multi-person showers often feature artful glass doors rather than a decorative fabric swag. But smaller bathrooms, such as those in historical homes, condominiums, or quaint apartments, still operate with traditional showers and bathtubs, and a considered curtain can breathe new life into their aesthetic.

Kick your shower curtain quality and appearance - and, subsequently, the whole vibe of your bathroom - up a few notches with a fabric shower curtain. Sateen cotton or cotton-linen-blend varieties add a subtle shimmer to the bathroom decor, and can easily influence a design theme. French-country baths, for example, are perfectly suited for a clean, breezy white eyelet or ruffled curtain. Shabby-chic schemes can be topped off with a richly colored bohemian print - think exotic gold. Modern and Art Deco bathrooms require the simple, impactful punch provided by a bold, color-blocked curtain in a few select colors: black, white, and a bright accent.
